johnathan is on a murderous rampage and is more powerful than ever but alec is more concerned about the flowers for his wedding and i’ve never been prouder
thinking about how magnus said Need in reference to removing his memories of alec, he needs to scrub his mind of hazel eyes and loving smiles. Can’t bare to remember words of love spoken in a voice only he got to hear. Can’t continue on with just the memory of deep belly laughs, soft snores, calloused hands achingly gentle, kisses sweet. Needs to forget the love that changed his world, because it’s not his love anymore. So he needs every heartache of a memory to leave him.
So, I still haven’t had a chance to go through my big mega-speculation post and tally up my hits and misses. There have been a lot of moments where I got fairly close to the mark but wasn’t entirely accurate (frex: Alec’s DID make a deal with Asmodeus to get Magnus’s magic back and it DID result in Asmodeus escaping his banishment, but undoing the banishment wasn’t actually Asmodeus’s price for restoring Magnus’s magic or the result of the Malec separation.)
Still, going into the finale, I have a suspicion of how it’s going to play out, so I’m going to document it to see if any of it pans out.
For those of you who are new and don’t really know me, this is just a game I play with myself, not anything I take very seriously. I don’t mind being wrong when it happens, except for those times when I feel like it would have made a better story if I’d been right (Robert Lightwood, I’m looking at YOU.) Sometimes I hit it precisely on the head (I predicted Magnus’s deal with Asmodeus after 3x07 aired) and sometimes I’m WAY off the mark (*sigh* my whole Aldertree/Sebastian theory.) Take it with a grain of salt.
Under a cut for potential book-based spoilers.
So, 3x20 is titled “City of Glass”, which is the title of one of the books, and I think we need to take some of our cues from there where Malec is concerned. Obviously, they’ve already had their Alec-coming-out-via-big-public-snog moment back in season 1, but there’s another semi-iconic Malec moment we haven’t seen play out on the show, and I think this is where we’ll get some variation of it.
The good news is, I’m pretty sure Malec are going to reconcile BEFORE what would have been the s3/s4 hiatus, had the show not been cancelled. They weren’t going to leave us with Malec broken up, thank God.
We know from the promo that demons are going to attack Alicante, probably because Jonathan manages to open the rift to Edom with the Morningstar blade.
When demons attacked Alicante in the book CoG, Magnus and Alec were estranged. They encountered each other in the midst of the chaos and reconciled while fighting demons together. It’s where Magnus tells Alec he loves him for the first time, i.e. “you stupid Nephilim, yadda yadda yadda”
I think we’re going to that battlefield reunion in this episode, and it’s going to be all sorts of fun, because by the time it happens, Asmodeus will have revealed his ulterior motives to Magnus, Magnus will have put together all the pieces and realized what Alec did, and if he does call Alec a “stupid Nephilim” (which is not actually a line I’m in love with and I sort of hope we don’t get it because it will probably feel shoehorned in like a lot of the iconic book moments they’ve been trying to force this season) it will probably be for 1) thinking Magnus would choose his magic over Alec and 2) being a dumbass for giving Asmodeus his way out of Edom.
So they’re going to argue and hash it out and reconcile while fighting off demons, and then we’re going to get a battlefield proposal. Possibly not intentionally, possibly Alec just blurts it out that he had wanted to marry Magnus, but either way, it’s going to be GLORIOUS.
And then it will be agony, because Magnus will be taken to Edom, either by force or by sacrificing himself because it’s the only way to seal the rift (I really hope by force, because I’m tired of Magnus sacrificing himself, y’all.) We know from BTS shots of filming the last two eps that he’s in Edom with Lilith at some point, and we know from the season promo that there’s a moment when Alec is kneeling, looking at the sky, devastated, so I think that’s the cliffhanger we were going to be left on.
But yeah. Battlefield proposal. You heard it here first.
Depressed people get married. Depressed people make life choices, even big ones. Depressed people, people dealing with trauma, are still fucking people capable of making decisions. I’m already tired of all the OMG MAGNUS CANT SAY YES HE’S GOING THROUGH SO MUCH! He can absolutely say yes and still struggle with what he’s going through. He can say yes and be happy about that one part of his life while everything else feels wrong. Fucking Christ.
#Shadowhunters #ShadowhuntersChatWell, I got it wrong about Malec moving in together by 3x12 but I nailed it when I said marriage would be discussed by 3x16.
#ShadowhuntersChat #Shadowhunters I’ll never forgive @FreeformTV for depriving us of this Institute+Downworld takes on the Clave storyline next season.
#Shadowhunters #ShadowhuntersChat I like how they approached Magnus with the sword. Not completely helpless, but outclassed because he’s out of his comfort zone. Good call.
#Shadowhunters #ShadowhuntersChat Okay at least they’re TRYING to be fair to Maia, and not make this Maia vs. Izzy. Still not crazy with anyone finding fault with her doing what she needed to do, but they’re trying not to hit that note very hard.
